Grant Description

The goals of this project are to support increased private sector investment in infrastructure, which is key to closing the country's infrastructure gap and sustaining strong domestic economic growth, by developing a transparent, modern capital market and enhancing the Government of Philippine's ability to foster and regulate the market.

Project activities include: 1) developing the domestic capital market for infrastructure, particularly corporate bonds; 2) attracting foreign investment into Philippine infrastructure projects; 3) expanding financing instruments, including project and municipal bonds, and risk mitigation tools; 4) building capacity within the Securities and Exchange Commission to support capital market development to finance infrastructure.
